Trump: Shut Down the Government to Defund Planned Parenthood

Trump was a liberal just a few short years ago. Now, he says he is a conservative but he has no explanation for how or why his mind changed on a host of issues. He used to be for higher taxation, he used to be pro-choice, he has shifted on gay marriage and has in the past agreed with so called “hate crime” laws, he’s a protectionist on trade, he’s been for greater gun control, he once called for universal healthcare and protecting Medicare and Medicaid, and he’s held other similarly liberal positions.

BUT…

If he’s being honest now… and I hope he is… I am starting to like him more and more. I still can’t give him my outright support, but if he keeps traveling down this road – he could still win me over — and I would have thought that impossible just a few weeks ago.

His latest attempt to win my vote came when he appeared on the Hugh Hewitt radio show and told Hewitt that maybe the best thing conservatives could do might be to shut down the government in their effort to defund Planned Parenthood. He also added that what Planned Parenthood is doing is disgusting and he is right…
